On a recent photography break to Cumbria I took some time to film a video sharing my story. I wasn't always a photographer. In fact I had a totally different career in my 20's which just didn't work out. So, at 30, I found myself having to start a new career from scratch. I decided it might as well be something I loved and so I took the risk and began at the bottom as a photography freelancer. It wasn't easy, but this video gives you some of lessons I learned, and what to expect if you're thinking of taking a similar leap.

Your first 10,000 photos are your worst.

— Henri Cartier-Bresson

This blog shows some of my first 10,000, and the lessons I'm learning on the road to being a well rounded, inter disciplinary photographer. I am setting myself the goal of getting out there and shooting personal projects regularly (outside of my work shoot schedule), and sharing the lessons I learn along the way, in the hope that it will aid in your own journey.
